These are just the ones that jump out at me, there are soooo many I could go on and on though. Everyone was signed from the lower leagues, not necessarily for the teams they play for now though.

Leeds - Luke Ambler, Kyle Amor, Ian Kirke
Us - Rich Whiting
Huddersfield - Lee Gilmour, Danny Brough, Danny Kirmond, Shaun Lunt, Greg McNally, Andy Raleigh
Saints - Ade Gardner, Jon Wilkin
Wire - Richard Myler
Kr - Fox

It's a real shame our scouting system don't have any 'funny quirks'!!!

If their good enough they'll get their shot.

Yes they will, like Hardaker will at Leeds, and Gale did at London. The issue is, all these clubs aren't blinkered enough to believe there isn't a pool of talent to tap into. You obviously can't spot any talent in the lower leagues and apparently our coach and scouts can't, but most of the other SL clubs appear to be able to do it!

But we do look and have signed players from there.

In your own list of 14 we've signed 2!

Now this is what I dont understand.
I agree that the whole KR v FC 'my dog has bigger b...ocks than your dog' does gets tiresome after a while but how can you say a playoff game against anyone is just 'another game'?
The biggest game in the world?............No it isnt.
An actual playoff game which is far more important than just a normal league game?............Yes it is.
Oh and BTW this isn't me crowing in any way as we got a good slapping the week after so I have no reason to crow.
I just find the term 'another game' when talking about what is in essence a playoff game and the end of the seaon for the loser is infact BS.

Exactly! That is precisely the reason we should have offloaded Dowes, and gone with potential rather than the mundane!

We didn't need potential. We needed cover for next season.

moaning about a signed player....done...deal with it as it aint gunna change

Jack Briscoe
Reece Lyne
Danny Nicklas
Chris Green
Liam Kent
Liam Cunningham
Ben Crooks

Like that kind of potential?

As I have said before but you have choosen to ignore it Dickins was the best prop in the league last year, got voted in the top 3 players in the natioanl league and made the Dream Team however, a few years ago he signed for Salford in SL, only played 9 games in a team that finished bottom, went back to Fev the next season, tried but wasn't good enough.

Also why we would pay and sign a backrower when we have 3 young backrowers coming through?

Well done you have named 15 players from the last 10 years (most of which signed for SL clubs when they 17/18 and took time to get into the first team) 3 of which haven't even made it as SL players yet.

They are one or two players in that league who could play SL to that level, but not many and if they are good enough they are will get signed by SL clubs.

Hull looked at Hardraker and made him an offer so the club does scout the lower leagues, in fact the club signed Brough, Whiting, Maloney from these leagues.

It's the same old , just because we haven't signed the players doesn't mean we haven't tried.

No doubt Fielden and LMS were about to sign but read the miserable s on here and thought ' that'.

Really? So we defo made an offer, 100%? how do you know this?

What happened? Leeds quicker than us again?

Just like we went after the young 7 in Cumbria but dragged out heels and Leeds pipped us again.

Something there isnt there? does Kath let it all out when on the job and Gary jumps in?

Most??? Actually, only 4 of the 15 signed when they was 18. Hardly an overwhelming majority! You clearly are against the idea of giving NL players a chance, but don't make up statistics to back up an opinion!

Luke Ambler 19
Kyle Amor 22
Richard Whiting 19
Lee Gilmour 18
Danny Brough 22
Danny Kirmond 22
Shaun Lunt 22/23
Greg McNally 18
Any Raleigh 25
Ade Gardner 19
Jon Wilkin 18
Richie Myler 18
Peter Fox 22

Are you ignoring some of their first spells with sl clubs?
